Legends of Outdoor Print Media with Anthony Licata

Legends of Outdoor Print Media with Anthony Licata

Author: The Orvis Company March 7, 2026 Duration: 1:07:49

Reid is joined by Anthony Licata, editor of Cowboys & Indians magazine (www.cowboysindians.com), for a look inside the world of outdoor print media from someone who has  been to the big leagues. For much of his career, Licata worked for Bonnier Corp. from its Park Avenue offices, eventually becoming Editor in Chief of Field & Stream and Editorial Director of Bonnier's Lifestyle Group, which included titles such as Outdoor Life. In this conversation, he reflects on the glory days, when bar carts and generous expense accounts were part of the job, and shares stories about balancing hunting travel, a love of more humble outdoor pursuits, and life in the middle of Manhattan. It is a conversation about magazines, media, and the strange and wonderful experience of building an outdoor life from the middle of the city.


Reid Bryant hosts The Orvis Hunting and Shooting Podcast, a production from The Orvis Company that feels like a conversation with a trusted, knowledgeable friend. It builds on the foundation of its former incarnation, the Double Barrel Podcast, diving deeper into the practical and philosophical aspects of life afield. Each episode is grounded in real-world experience, offering nuanced advice that goes beyond simple tips. You’ll hear detailed discussions on shotgun and rifle techniques, strategies for pursuing various game, and thoughtful commentary on conservation and wilderness ethics. The focus is always on building skill and confidence, which naturally leads to more rewarding days outdoors. Whether you’re working to improve your shooting fundamentals, plan a new hunt, or simply want to immerse yourself in stories from the field, this podcast serves as a reliable resource. It’s designed for anyone who appreciates the craft of hunting and shooting, from those just starting out to seasoned veterans looking to refine their approach. The tone is welcoming and substantive, stripping away pretense to focus on what truly matters: safety, responsibility, and the profound enjoyment found in these traditional pursuits. Tune in for a blend of education and narrative that honors the entire experience.
